RockShox RCT Rear Shock

Yes, this model is specifically engineered to handle the additional weight and torque demands of electric mountain bikes, ensuring consistent performance and durability.

Trunnion mounting uses a specific bolt pattern directly into the shock body rather than standard eyelets. You must ensure your bike frame is specifically designed for a Trunnion mount, as it is not interchangeable with standard eyelet-mounted shocks.

The lockout lever allows you to firm up the suspension instantly, which reduces pedal bob and energy loss when climbing on smooth fire roads or pavement. It essentially stiffens the shock to make your pedaling more efficient without needing to adjust your compression settings.

Absolutely. The shock features independent low-speed compression and rebound adjustments, allowing you to fine-tune how the suspension reacts to trail chatter and impacts to match your personal preference and terrain.

These features work together to provide a more refined, supple feel off the top of the stroke while maintaining better support through the mid-stroke. This combination gives you improved traction and control, especially on aggressive, demanding terrain.

No, you must match both the eye-to-eye length (205 mm) and the stroke (65 mm) exactly to your frame's requirements. Using a shock with the wrong stroke can cause the rear tire to hit the seat tube or the frame linkage to bottom out, which is dangerous.
